Contaminated land not only impacts the health and quality of life of the community, it can have major economic, legal and planning implications, possibly limiting land use potential, or increasing costs for developers and councils. Investigation and clean-up is paramount to the protection of human health and the environment, and the long-term economic stability of the area.

For more than 25 years, Arcadis has led the way in site evaluation and remediation. We work with some of Australia’s, and the world’s, largest mining, property, investment and construction, petrochemical, and industrial organisations, saving our clients over $1 billion in remediation costs. We are now harnessing advances in materials and technology to improve environmental clean-up decision making, and improve quality of life.

Emerging Contaminants

Tackling emerging contaminants before they impact people or the environment can be difficult, costly, and time consuming.

Arcadis has developed unique solutions to manage emerging contaminants like PFAS, enhancing the environmental performance of our clients' sites. We are leading the way for site assessment, analysis, toxicology, risk assessment and remediation of emerging contaminants.

Remediation

The remediation industry is on the cusp of major breakthroughs that will challenge conventional treatment methods and solve some of your most complex environmental issues.

At Arcadis, our scientists and engineers are rethinking the future of site evaluation and restoration by improving the application of existing tools, developing next-generation technologies, and overturning outdated scientific models to redefine what is possible. Our focus on increasing the certainty of outcomes, attaining sustainability, and achieving business objectives is driving innovation in this industry.

Site Assessment

The first step in understanding and managing your environmental liabilities is to complete a thorough site investigation.

Arcadis understands the impacts of the site history, the nuances of your site’s processes, and the nature and extent of contaminating activity on your site. Looking at the full life-cycle of the project, Arcadis can align site assessment outcomes with broader planning and project objectives to achieve the best outcome.
